Question

1. many of earths major landforms are features that occurred due to hitting each other.

a. continental shelves
b. continents
c. tectonic plates
d. faults

Explanation:

Tectonic plates are large sections of the Earth's lithosphere. When they interact (such as colliding, diverging, or sliding past each other), they create major landforms. Continental shelves are parts of continents submerged under relatively shallow water. Continents are large landmasses. Faults are fractures in the Earth's crust. But it is the movement and interaction of tectonic plates that lead to the formation of many major landforms like mountains (from plate - collision), rift valleys (from plate - divergence) etc.

Answer:

C. tectonic plates
